When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world .....and I realized it was more about me than I had ever imagined and so therefore must release to the public my private letters to you.

Barf. I hope his daughter listen to a lot of hip-hop and rap and become promiscous.

The only tear that comes to my eye is the one for the grandchild he’d allow to die if the baby were “accidentally” born alive through an abortion. He’d allow his grandchild to die in a closet of exposure or put in a medical waste dumpster. He’s a monster . . . I have no patience with this vacuous empty suit.

Exactly, I am wondering if 0 can raise two girls and be president at the same time... i.e. Sarah Palin...was asked..and it was doubted that she could..

Well during the campaign what he wanted for his daughters was for them not to be burdened with children.
Easy access to abortions is pretty much all I remember about what he said he wants for his 2 daughters. He probably doesn’t get that this means what he wants for his grandchildren is for some or all of them to not be born.

Won’t ever hear his speech. Not my president.

...and in closing, despite all these lies, if you look at Daddies’ life with a critical eye, you’ll see that it’s still all about me.

Love,

Dad
(Please call me Mr. President from now on ‘cause it makes me feel good.)

My God, but I am so sick of the Obamas, and they haven’t even moved inhto the White House yet. Four years of this kind of noxious swill?

1. Awwwww...... 2. Isn't this just Pr, Marketing? If he didn't write this - a staffer did - then it's bogus. If he DID write this - shouldn't he be reading foreign policy briefings, etc? Why is he wasting valuable time writing ponderous Deep Thoughts like this to his daughters, when HE'S THE PRESIDENT?!!

Better believe they will trot out those girls at every opputunity. I actually feel sorry for them.

The Bushes never used their girls and despite their troubles early on Jenna and Barbara have given their parents a lot to be proud of.

I also wouldn’t be shocked if he’s tanking in the polls Michelle becomes pregnant.

“Comments?”

I want to, I really, really do, but I’d better not speak my mind. However, I will say this. If Obama was writing a letter, in all sincerity, to his daughters and it had nothing to do with anything political, he would NOT have released it to the public.

The fact that he has released it, tells me what his true motivations are.

“How phoney! That letter was meant for the masses not his daughters.”

Exactly! I’m sick and tired of him assuming that the other half of the nation is as stupid as the half that voted for him.

It still is ... O is a pathetic megalomaniac who is going to wind up killing millions through his idiocy.

Is Parade claiming Obama really wrote this himself? Because this part:

“although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.”

...has appeared in all kinds of Obama speeches, from political speeches to graduation speeches. He’s used it for years. Considering what I’ve read about his magnificent writing style, I would have expected something very different and very original for his daughters.

Agree with you. It was pretty pathetic.
